Distribution and habitat
Brackenridgea palustris grows naturally in Sumatra, Peninsular Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi. [2] Its habitat is lowland forests, especially peat swamp and kerangas, to submontane forests, from sea-level to 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) elevation. [1] [3]
Subspecies
Two subspecies are accepted:
- Brackenridgea palustris subsp. kjellbergii P.O.Karis – southern Sulawesi
- Brackenridgea palustris subsp. palustris – Peninsular Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo
